Bomanbridge takes Dykes trek global

Into the Heart of China follows extreme sportsman Ash Dykes

Singapore-based distributor and producer Bomanbridge Media is launching a factual series fronted by British adventure Ash Dykes on the international market.

Into the Heart of China (6×30’) follows an attempt by extreme athlete Dykes to walk the length of Asia’s longest river, the Yangtze, over the course of a year.

Beijing-based prodco Mandarin Film is working on the project with Bomanbridge which will bring the project to Mipcom in Cannes next month for pre-sale and key broadcaster conversations.

Dykes previously completed a solo, unsupported walk across Mongolia in 2014 and Madagascar in 2016. His latest challenge sees him attempt to complete the 6,380km walk in harsh conditions, extreme temperatures and difficult terrain.

Filming began in the summer and the project is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019. Bomanbridge will handle international distribution.
